The Multiwinia Server List extension for Firefox unobtrusively allows you to monitor game servers without needing to launch the game. A little Multiwinian gets added to the Firefox status bar which changes color to indicate if there are games waiting for more players or already in progress. The full server list can be accessed by simply clicking on the little guy.

My hope is that by being able to passively tell when there are games waiting for more players, some of the loooooong wait times will be alleviated. This has worked really well with the small group of players who have been testing it. Bear in mind, however, someone still has to go first - if there are NO games waiting and you want to play, it is still up to YOU to launch the game and queue up.

You will need to restart your web browser after the extension is installed.

If you were beta testing a previous version of this (released as "mwLadder"), you should uninstall it first (Tools -> Add-ons) and then install the new "Multiwinia Server List"; there is no need to restart Firefox in between those two actions.
